Images are appropriately tagged. I haven't seen a rendered midi file before but the tag seems right. Earwig finds no issues; sources are reliable. Spotchecks -- some sources are unavailable so the choice here is limited:

• FN 2 cites "The juxtaposition of elegant and low life is humorous, sometimes burlesque, but always graceful and sympathetic". The source is quite long; the closest I can find to this is "Ancient and Christian mythology and Swedish drinking figures, not only from Stockholm, were brought together into a both learned and burlesque, rather bizarre whole, one of the strangest works that Swedish literature has to offer." which is not a very precise match. Am I missing the relevant passage?
  • I think you have it; I've added another ref to Britten Austin 1967, with quotation, which certainly fills it out a bit more. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:27, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
• FN 2 also cites "A solo entertainer, he played the cittern, accompanying himself as he performed his songs at the royal court" -- can you point me at the passage in the source that supports this?
  • Added a ref. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:16, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

More later, probably tomorrow. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 21:56, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

• We have "Fredmans sånger" in the lead, but "Fredman's Songs" in the body. I would think the English is probably the better option since this is not a widely known title.

• Fixed.

• "At the same time as depicting this reality": I think "reality" is not the word we want here, as it is no less fictional than the nymphs.

• Reworded.

• I think "Rococo" should be lower case.

• Done.

• "when he wrote his famous diary entry": suggest "a" rather than "his".

• Done.

• Are there any notable modern recordings? Is it a regular part of the modern repertoire?

• Added two recordings. It seems to be less usual in the modern repertoire.

Fixes look good; passing. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 15:28, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

I put it in Music rather than Languages and literature, but feel free to move it if you think that's incorrect. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 15:31, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
